Controversies have been raised regarding the prevalence and potential clinical significance of mitral annular disjunction (MAD). We aim to address the anatomic characteristics of MAD and their association, if any, on survival. We retrospectively reviewed

Arrhythmic risk in mitral valve prolapse with mitral annular disjunction: meta-analysis of longitudinal studies [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is frequently associated with mitral annular disjunction (MAD). Although numerous studies and emerging consensus suggest an arrhythmogenic role for MAD, there is a lack of large-scale meta-analyses of longitudinal studies to ...

Mitral Annular Disjunction in the Context of Mitral Valve Prolapse: Identifying the At-Risk Patient [PDF]
: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), a separation between the left atrium/mitral valve annulus and the left ventricular myocardium, is frequently seen in patients with arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse.

Prevalence and predictors of mitral annular disjunction and ventricular ectopy in mitral valve prolapse [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is associated with ventricular arrhythmia in mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The proportional risk from MAD and other predictors of ventricular arrhythmia in MVP has not been well characterized.This study aimed to identify predictors of complex or frequent ventricular ectopy (cfVE) in MVP and to quantify risk of cfVE and ...

Mitral annular disjunction with atrial septal defect in children: An intriguing association [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is defined as a separation between the mitral annulus and the left ventricular myocardium and is most often seen in association with mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

True- and pseudo-mitral annular disjunction in patients undergoing cardiovascular magnetic resonance [PDF]
: Background: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a controversial entity. Recently, a distinction between pseudo-MAD, present in systole and secondary to juxtaposition of the billowing posterior leaflet on the left atrial wall, and true-MAD, where the ...

Mitral Annular Disjunction: A Roadmap for the Surgeon. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a structural abnormality of the mitral annulus fibrosus, associated with myxomatous leaflet degeneration, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and ventricular arrhythmias. The combination of annular dilatation and abnormal annular motion increases
